VI. Reading Comprehension & Summary Making (40 Marks)


Read the following passage carefully, and then answer the questions below:
9 oclock on Wednesday evening. All is suspiciously quiet in my 15-year-old
daughter Lauries normally noisy room. My youngest daughter, aged 11, comes
downstairs and says her sister is on Facebook.
With her final exams now just weeks away, I am getting desperate. I call Laurie and
beg her to disable her Facebook account. Dad, I cant do it, she says.
Of course, I could take matters into my own hands, take away her laptop and shut down
our wireless connection at night, but I have strived to trust my children. What really
concerns me isnt the stuff she is posting on her page, its the worrying amount of time she
spends logged on Facebook.
I am convinced that my daughters techno-habit has turned her from a bright, wellread student to someone who stays up late, cant concentrate and will probably fail her
exams. But this was partly our fault. We gave her a laptop and an unlimited access to the
Internet, stupidly thinking that this would help her with her studies.
Discovering Lauries habit was very disappointing and saddening because I had
always presumed that Facebook was for the sad and the lonely- not for someone gifted
with fully-formed social skills. Where she sees a useful communication tool, I see a mindnumbing, childish way of passing precious time. It requires constant commitment and gets
you into trouble, too. As for her school work! Her grades have slipped dramatically and
her teachers complain about her lack of application and concentration.
If I confront her, she flatly refuses to blame the Internet. However, I am doing my
best to wean Laurie off Facebook because it has adversely affected her life and school
performance.
A) Choose the correct answer from a, b, c and d: (4x4.5 = 18)
1- Circle the most appropriate title
a- Facebook is very useful for my daughters study
b- Facebook is ruining my daughters future
c- Facebook is giving my daughter fantastic opportunities
d- Facebook is the best communication tool
34

Grade 12 2nd Term

2- to wean Laurie off Facebook (parag.5) means..


a- to encourage Laurie to use Facebook
b- to make Laurie stop using Facebook
c- to oblige Laurie to use Facebook
d- to ask Laurie to control her Facebook logging time.
3- All of the sentences below are FALSE except
a- Simon and his daughter share the same opinion about Facebook.
b- Teachers dont care about Lauries results.
c- Laurie refuses to blame the Internet.
d- The parents share no responsibility for Lauries Facebook addiction.
4- The word disable in (parag. 2) means.
a- deactivate
b- activate
c- share
d- fail
B- With reference to the passage, answer the following questions: (3x4 = 12)
5- Pick out 3 consequences of Lauries Facebook addiction.

6- What really concerns Lauries father?

C- Summary Making: (10)


In not less than 4 sentences, with reference to paragraph 4, summarize the fathers opinions
about Facebook.

Episode 1 summary
A six-year-old boy named Pip lived on the English marshes with his sister, , Mrs. Joeseph

Gargery, and his sisters husband , Joeseph Gargery,. His sister was mean but his brother-in-law
was pretty much the best thing thats happened to Pip.

Pip was in the graveyard, there he met a fearful man Magwitch , the shackled man, in

rough clothes, with a great iron on his leg. The man asked Pip to bring him a metal file and some
food. Pip was frightened and promised to bring the file and the food.

Pip went home to find his elder sister, Mrs. Joe, she was more than twenty years older than

Pip. She was tough and unpleasant woman while her Husband, Joe, was a kind-hearted
blacksmith. Pip went to the kitchen and stole some bread, a hard piece of cheese and a round meat

pie. Then he went quickly to the marshes but he found another man, Compeyson (or the second
shackled man), dressed in the same rough clothes, then appeared the right man. Pip gave him the
food and the file. Pip left him filing at his iron and went home.
At home Mrs. Joe was preparing dinner. Mr. Wopsle, a village clerk was having dinner with
them with Pumblechook, ( their uncle ).Pip felt that his theft was about to be discovered so he ran
away. At the front door he met some soldiers. The sergeant told him that he was chasing convicts
and they wanted the blacksmith to examine the handcuffs. Then Joe and Pip went down with the
soldiers, and then all of a sudden they heard long shouts. They were the two men Pip met on the
marshes .The sergeant handcuffed them both. Magwitch, the shackled man said that he had stolen
from the blacksmith's house some bits of food, a pie and a file. Then he was placed into a boat and
rowed away to the prison ship.

Pip knocked at the door , entered , there saw Miss Havisham sitting on an armchair . She was dressed

in rich materials- all of white. She asked Pip to call Steven and when he came she signaled for him to
play with Pip. Both sat down to cards. Steven won and called Pip a stupid laboring-boy. They played

again and he beat Pip once again. Then Miss Havisham told Pip to come again after six days. Pip
walked home very unhappy because they considered him a common laboring-boy.

When Pip reached home, his sister and Mr. Pumblechook asked him a lot of questions . Pip lied

but when Joe came, he confessed the truth to him and told him that he felt unhappy and that there had
been a young man who was proud and that said Pip was common, and that the lies had come out of it
somehow. Joe told Pip that he couldnt get to be uncommon through lying.

After six days Pip returned to Miss Havisham's. She asked Pip what he was going to be. Pip told

her that he was going to be a blacksmith like Joe. She asked Pip to bring Joe with him the next time .Joe

wore his best clothes and went with Pip, there she asked Pip to bring 25 pounds from a bag and give
them to Joe to teach the boy. Miss Havisham decided to help him become a common labourer in his
familys business.

Episode 3 Summary
In the fourth year of training with Joe, a lawyer named Jaggers appeared with strange news: a

secret benefactor had given Pip a large fortune, and Pip must come to London immediately to
begin his education as a gentleman. Pip happily assumed that his previous hopes had come true
that Miss Havisham was his secret benefactor. Then Jaggers started giving Pip the instructions.

"First, to bear the name Pip and not to change it. Second, the name of the benefactor must remain
secret, till he chooses to reveal it." Jaggers suggested Mr.Matthew Pocket, to be Pip's teacher and
educator in becoming a gentleman. Jaggers wanted to give Joe a present as compensation for the
loss of Pip but Joe refused. Then Jaggers asked Pip to leave for London and take a coach to his
office there.

In Jaggers' office in London, he gave him his allowance, the cards of shopkeepers and asked

Wemmick, his clerk, to take him to Mr.Pocket's place.
